ClothTalk 024 - Patch trader, collector… No: Historian.
Posted in ClothTalk (high-quality mp3) by Ben Killen on February 26th, 2007
This episode brings us part-one of our chat with master trader, collector, and scouting historian: Bill Topkis. What a great interview! We had so much great material from our talk with Bill that we’ve split it up into two episodes. Be on the lookout for part-two of this great conversation next time, here on ClothTalk.
Also this episode: Ben goes skiing on Camelback Mountain. Brandon brings us a TOR calendar update, Beep Beep talks about ConclaveConclave.com and John Pannell tells us how some lodges are using patches as motivators, as well as what makes an lodge issue official.
